Question Lefty looking for ambi mag release for 15-22

First off, I have done research and almost everyone says the norgon is the one that works best. Only one small problem with that... I have small hands and cannot reach the little button that the norgon has.

My question is: has anyone actually bought the Knights Armament Ambi Mag Release and tried it on their 15-22?? I've only seen threads of people talking about them, but no one actually saying they tried it.

If this one doesn't fit I'm pretty much hosed for mag changes...

I'm also a lefty. I don't really have a problem with the mag release. I did swap the safety to the right side of the gun, so I can hit it with my left thumb. Other then that I may get an ambi charge handle. But that's it.

Yes, I have already read that thread, and none of them say they actually tried the Nights Armament mag release on a 15-22. Only the Troy, and Norgon.

I was wondering if anyone actually has tried it on the 15-22 and how it worked for them, if it even worked at all.

Thanks for posting the thread though!

UPDATE:

My KAC Ambi Mag Release just came in today, and I'll be installing it tonight. I will post something up tomorrow on how it worked out for me, and maybe a photo of it.

Install was simple, and works like a charm. I'm glad I went with my gut on this, and bought the one that would fit my hands, the Norgon, and Troy would of been to far away for my finger to reach. If anyone is left handed, with smaller hands I would recommend this one.

Thanks for following up with your solution.
When I priced them the KAC and Troy ambi looked to be the same price, about $65. Norgon around $85.

Yeah, I bought mine from CheaperThanDirt for $58. They also had the stock I wanted. So I just got them at the same time.
